After working on changing the head gasket for hours and days, can not work on it full time, it appears to have fixed the problem. Does not overheat, runs better, and the heat inside works.

By the way the new gasket was a multi layer metal gasket wihile the old one was a sturdy fiber gasket with metal rings around the chambers.

Thanks for the help.
